“He said it was a mistake to set an end date for our warriors in Afghanistan and bring them home. He implies by the speech that he’s ready to go to war in Syria and Iran,” Biden said in his speech.
Biden also went after the Republican presidential nominee when Romney called Russia America’s “number one geopolitical foe.”
“He wants to move from cooperation to confrontation with Putin’s Russia,” Biden said. “And these guys say the president’s out of touch? Out of touch? Swiss bank account, untold millions in the Cayman Islands. Who’s out of touch, man?”

At least Biden is consistent. Romney is a war mongering out of touch rich white guy. Here's Romney's own words. Tell me, which guy is right and which guy is wrong:

“I think we have to also be ready to take whatever action is necessary to ensure that we do not have any kind of weapon of mass destruction falling into the hands of terrorists and whether that requires troops, or whether that requires other actions by our friends and allies,” Romney said.

The American Left: Where everything is politics and politics is everything.

Biden reminds me of the classic shyster Democrats when I was growing up, sort of like a used car salesman or door to door salesman. They were about 50% crook and the other 50% American, they weren't overly smart but they had a street smartness about them.
This new breed of Democrat is different and they use the few old style Democrats to do their bidding. The new democrat is 50% white collar criminal, cunning and vindictive, the other 50% is progressive or communist and they believe in what they are doing to the point where many are willing to be destroyed if it will further their cause. They remind me of a hill of fire ants and they are spreading across the country just like the fire ants .

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;Who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness;Who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyesAnd clever in their own sight! Isaiah 5:20-21 NASB

Democrats haven't really changed, only their rhetoric has. They've always been about power and the truncation of Constitutional standards that interfere with their goals. When Andrew Jackson defied the Supreme Court, he did so in order to forcibly remove the Cherokee from their lands in Georgia, where gold had been discovered, under the notorious Indian Removal Act of 1830. The Surpeme Court decided in favor of the Cherokee Nation The act was challenged successfully by the Cherokee Nation in Worcester v. Georgia, in 1832. Jackson openly defied the court, saying " John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it!". Jackson forced the Cherokee population out of their land an bayonet point, in what is now known as the " Trail of Tears. " Roughly four thousand Cherokee (25% of the total) died on the forced march Oklahoma.

After the Civil War, the Democrats set up a terrorist wing of the party, the KKK, whose purpose was to prevent election of Republicans in the south and suppress the rights of freed slaves. It was successful, and led to the collapse of enforcement of the 14th Amendment in the south. Since then, Democratic presidents have openly spoken of their disdain for the Constitution. Woodrow Wilson considered it an impediment to his socialist policies, and blatantly disregarded it. FDR threatened to pack the Supreme Court with an unconstitutional expansion in order to force the New Deal through. Both Wilson and FDR continued the racial policies of the post Civil War Democrats, including maintenance of segregation (which Wilson instituted at the federal level) and refusal to protect blacks from lynching (both refused to sign anti-lynching laws). Johnson and Carter created massive new federal agencies that existed in open defiance of the limitations of the powers of the federal government. Clinton was impeached and spent a year perjuring himself and suborning it from his staff and inner circle. Gore tried to overthrow the 2000 election by ignoring Constitutional rules governing selection of electors. Don't get me started on Obama's disdain for the Constitution.

The Democrats crave power. If that means presenting themselves as populists (Jackson, Johnson), technocratic liberals (FDR, Clinton) or outright socialists/fascists (Wilson, Obama), then they adjust their rhetoric accordingly. Whatever it takes to win, to create the emotional appeals needed to produce a base of support that will accept, without question, their arguments and permit them any act. that is the common thread that joins Biden to Obama. Every Democrat who fights against accountability in schools on behalf of teachers unions is sacrificing the futures of American children for power. Every Democrat who fights for immigration reform is throwing away our civic culture for power. Every Democrat who undermined the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, not to mention Vietnam, was sacrificing Americans in combat, and America's place in the world, for power in the domestic sphere. Obama was perfectly happy to sacrifice four Americans in Benghazi to keep his foreign policy failures from risking his reelection chances, just as Andrew Jackson was willing to sacrifice 4,000 Cherokee, Woodrow Wilson was willing to sacrifice all of black America and FDR was willing to sacrifice every man, woman and child who stood in a bread line while his policies failed, because in the words of Hillary Clinton, "at this point, what difference does it make?"
